‘The Assassin(s)’ Surpasses 1 Million Viewers in 4 Days… Historical Interpretation Controversy Spreads

The film ‘The Assassin(s)’ has surpassed 1 million viewers just 4 days after its release.

According to the Korean Box Office Information System of the Korean Film Council, as of the morning of the 26th, the cumulative number of viewers has exceeded 1.05 million.

While the work is based on the 1974 incident where Moon Se-gwang shot Yuk Young-soo, it presents possibilities different from the official investigation results, leading to ongoing debates online surrounding historical interpretation.

Some viewers pointed out that the boundary between historical facts and cinematic imagination is blurred, while others responded that the film should be viewed simply as a film.
